BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT SERVICE

SEACOAST MAZDA BRAKE PAD SERVICE

What speeds up, must slow down; it is for this reason that all vehicles on the road today are equipped with a braking system that can slow them down quickly once they speed up. The Mazda brake system relies on brake fluid as the hydraulic and has several other parts, such as the master cylinder pump, lines, calipers, brake pads, and rotors. When you push the brake pedal, the hydraulic brake fluid transfers stopping power from the master cylinder into the calipers that clamp the brake pads into the rotors. It is this powerful clamping action that creates the friction that is the vehicle’s stopping power. Because brake pads are designed to wear out to protect the rotors from damage, they require routine replacement maintenance to keep the brake system at peak performance and safety.

MAZDA BRAKING & BRAKE PAD MAINTENANCE 101

The consensus among major auto manufacturers is that brake pads will typically last about 50,000 miles. However, this rule-of-thumb comes with the understanding that driving conditions and style have a considerable influence on how long brake pads will last. To further complicate the situation is the fact that, on average, the front brake pads will wear faster than the rear brake pads because they handle additional friction and heat due to their location at the front axle that carries more weight. All this really means is that brake pads’ maintenance requires routine inspections and prompt replacement when the brake pads are worn down or the warning indicator begins making the telltale eardrum-piercing screech.
